Install the User Client with Microsoft Intune
Used by both PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF, administrators can deploy their user client by leveraging Microsoft’s Intune Endpoint Device Manager.
Step 1. Create your .intunewin file
-
Go to Microsoft’s Github page and download the zip for their Prep Tool Microsoft/Microsoft-Win32-Content-Prep-Tool. This tool wraps Win32 App so it can be uploaded to Intune.
-
Unzip it and place the executable into the
\intune
folder you created. -
Copy the contents of your PaperCut Application Server’s
\client\win
folder to your workspace; place it in a\source
folder next to your\intune
folder.Product Default client path PaperCut MF C:\Program Files\PaperCut MF\client\win PaperCut NG C:\Program Files\PaperCut NG\client\win -
Create a
\Output
folder to place our wrapped.intunewin
file. -
Open PowerShell.exe, change the directory (
cd
) to the root of the working path, and run this command:.\Intune\IntuneWinAppUtil.exe -c .\Source -s .\Source\win\pc-client-admin-deploy.msi -o .\Output\ -q
-
Once the tool finishes, take your new
pc-client-admin-deploy.intunewin
file from your\Output
folder and proceed to Step 2. Install user component. -
